Even then, 720p from a torrent looks much better that what I get from Netflix. And I've tried Chrome, edge and even the win10 UWP app.

What source is your torrent from?

A WEB-DL is different from a (1080i) HDTV capture is different from a Blu Ray rip.

Netflix are optimising for bandwidth over quality - hell, the audio still seems to be 96 kbit AAC.
